What happened
On the runway 24 at Besançon-La Vèze Airport, an aircraft was performing its takeoff roll when the captain identified a failure in the plane's ability to accelerate. In response to this performance issue, the crew elected to abort the takeoff attempt.
Following the decision to stop, the crew applied emergency braking techniques. However, the aircraft could not decelerate sufficiently to remain on the paved surface. The plane exited the runway and traveled approximately 30 metres beyond the runway threshold, where it collided with an embankment measuring 2.4 metres in height. The impact caused the aircraft to catch fire.
Outcomes
- The accident resulted in two fatalities involving the flight crew.
- One passenger sustained serious injuries during the event.
- The aircraft was destroyed by the collision and subsequent fire.
